Can you please also send the actual error messages as printed by
apt/aptitude/dpkg? "package is defective" sadly is too vague to do
anything about it.

Hm, all these packages are in main. contrib or non-free should not be
needed for any of them.

What really happened here is that something triggered an update of your
out-of-date packages lists. (That is, that stuff that happens when one
runs (sudo) apt-get update or (sudo) aptitude update.)

They likely weren't just out-of-date, but plainly not existent,
explaining the uninstallable packages.

I guess running sudo apt-get update or sudo aptitude update or letting
synaptics update the package lists (no idea how to do this with
synaptics, sorry) would have been enough. You should be able to remove
contrib and non-free, then update the package lists by some mentioned
means. After that, installing x2goserver and other components should
still be possible (but any tests at this point are moot, because the
x2goserver package is already installed on that machine.)

Done! Thank you.
